Review Summary

Reviews of Grille Nature converge on a standout West Island dining experience, with generous portions, inventive and well executed dishes, and attentive service in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Dishes range from crowd pleasers like burgers and seafood to ambitious specials, with many highlights such as scallops, foie gras, crispy fries, and a strong bread and butter service, and a well curated drink program. While the overall food quality and vibe receive high praise, several guests note high prices for the portion sizes and occasional inconsistencies in pacing or execution, including one steak that was chewy or overcooked, some sides priced a la carte, and a few visits where service or timing could be improved. Still, the restaurant is described as lively yet comfortable, with a family friendly vibe and a level of hospitality that makes visitors feel welcomed and well cared for, and many plan to return to try more dishes.

My wife & I dined at this establishment this evening.The service we received was first class.
Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious.
The crispy squid was far & away the best we ever had.The only dish that fell flat was the honey & ginger shrimp.It lacked flavour & should not have exited the kitchen.The duck confit was WOW!!!! but a little more sauce on that plate as well as a more decorative presentstion would have been nice.Overall the food is absolutely delicious.I was not at all expecting to see Gateau Marjolaine on the menu & that alone made my evening.I suspect that came by way of Joe Beef.There is nothing like Gateau Marjolaine.

The Negatives:

Noise levels can become a bit distractive
Dress code is a bit confusing.Are we casual or are we Smart casual.Some patrons looked like they were at a standup tubesteak supper at Lafleur's & others looked like they belonged in a saw dust joint.This is what happens when you combine haute gamme cuisine with ball park cuisine,you suffer from identity crisis.Not sure if the 2 can work together.Only time will tell.

Would we go back? The answer is a resounding YES!!!!! The food is just toooooo goooood not to return.

Very disappointed with my main course that the waiter could have told me that it included only 6 shrimps. I then ordered also the broccolini which they were in a heavily sauce. It wasn't worth the trip & paying $350 for 3 people I would have gotten better food for that amount.
We were accompanied by another party of 3 which we definitely won't be returning.

Excellent food. Excellent service. The Milano ham appetizer is outstanding & the chocolate cake is amazing. I took the shrimp as a main meal: very tasty.

Went to Grille Nature with my wife, & my parents & had an absolutely wonderful experience!

We ordered the ginger shrimp & chopped salad to start! The shrimp were very tasty & the Chopped Salad tasted very very fresh!

For the main, we ordered two specials (New York steak & Black cod) & we also ordered the scallops which is on the regular menu! Steak was served in a jus that was absolutely delicious. It was cooked pretty rare & I wish it were closer to medium but it was still very very good! The black cod was also delicious. It had a slight sweetness to it (probably a sauce), & tasted very fresh! The scallops were very flavourful & super tender! I honestly would recommend all 3 dishes! (Pictures of the mains included)

The service was very polite but I found the pacing was a little off. The appetizers came in a good amount of time but it felt like 35-40 minutes between the end of the appetizer & when we got the dinner. All that being said, the server was very polite & I think she was pretty new so I should give her more slack than I am giving her.

Overall, I really really enjoyed this restaurant. It's so great to have a restaurant of this quality in the West Island

I will absolutely be back & I can't wait to try more things on their menu!

Local high quality ingredients with simple delicious recipes expertly prepared & didn't break the bank!
From the moment you walk in you're greeted with a warm smile & friendly banter. The service was EXCELLENT, she knew the menu inside out & we didn't feel pressured.. only supported.
It's a very chill local vibe inside & I can't wait to try the terrace in the summer!
You HAVE to get the Furley bread with churned butter, Hudson's finest really delivers.
The shrimp were the perfect starter & weren't overpowering.
The spicy margarita was strong & so yummy!
The scallops & bar steak were the perfect combo, & the value on the streak is crazy imo. There are some elevated options, but you can enjoy this restaurant without breaking the bank easily. Incredible addition to the West Island!

This place is an absolute hit. The food was spectacular. We tried the half chicken, the steak frites, the calamari & the shrimp tostada. Everyone was raving about how good it was. The french fries that come with the half chicken & steak are some of the best fries i've ever had.

Thrilled to have a restaurant of this calliber on the West Island!! Thank you Regan for your great service & menu suggestions. We were SUPER surprised at how good the Argentinian white wine was. From the amazing bread n butter to the sundae dessert - *chef's kiss* ! Husband had the beef carpaccio (we ended up sharing- wow) & the scallops. I had the appy shrimp (honey ginger) & a gigantic salad - refreshing!!!! We will surely be back! 😀

We had such a great experience here. The space is beautiful & the vibe is spot on. As soon as we gave our name, we were immediately wished a happy birthday - such a thoughtful touch that really set the tone for the night.

We started with cocktails (delicious) & shared a bunch of appetizers. The bread service was excellent, the hot avocado was a favourite, plus calamari & shrimp. We were also gifted a salad the kitchen is trying out that's not on the menu yet, & it was amazing. Some people at the table had the foie gras toast & it was unreal. We ordered a bit of everything & shared, & honestly, every dish was a hit.

The owner came over & helped us choose a bottle of wine, which was a great recommendation, & took the time to chat with us. The service felt very down to earth & natural - everyone was friendly, checked in on us, & it didn't matter who noticed if a plate was cleared or a wine glass needed topping up, it was just handled. We also loved how the food comes out on carts.

It was a birthday celebration, complete with lots of birthday wishes & a massive sundae for the kiddo at the table. The whole place felt warm, family-friendly, & like a true community spot.

The menu is also very reasonably priced, with great range - from burgers to Wagyu beef cheek. We'll definitely be back.

My only feedback: I strongly recommend they consider doing a wine club. It would be so well received, & I know I would sign up.

Average to a little above average Restaurant.

The ginger shrimp was good 8/10. My steak was over done & not tasty 5/10. The bread was very good, but not warm. Our server Noah was very friendly. The decor is average. The Apple strudel was served cold 6/10
In general, it is overpriced
